Introducing Duodecliner Poetry

Poetry Contest

The Duodec-liner poem (duodec = prefix meaning ?twelve-?) is a twelve-liner.

As in the Etheree poem, the first line is a one-syllable word, the second line has two syllables, the third has three, and so forth, concluding with a twelve-syllable line.

Unlike the Etheree, the Duodecliner must express an opinion or pose a question, and include at least six lines that end in a rhyme. The last two lines comment on the opinion, or answer the question.

Other Requirements:
Only one illustration (optional), above the poem,
Select colors and fonts only from FS editors (basic, advanced)
Use one color each for background and font.
No animation, music or other special effects.
